Since today was "Leap Day," I decided it was a good excuse to invite the fourth grade to the library at the end of the day to watch a 15-minute animated film. Created by William Joyce, the children's book author/illustrator, it just won an Oscar/Academy Award for best short animation at the 2012 Oscar ceremony held this past week.
The title of the video is The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. It's a very touching story, and I see more and more meaning in it each time I watch it. I find it especially appropriate during this time when we don't know what the future holds for actual paper books.
